How to Use First Editions Bubblegum Pink Phlox in the Landscape

Use this cheery choice to make yourself and others smile! Run them in a neat row along your front sidewalk, or tucked on the sunny side of your foundation plantings.

Create a solid ribbon of color by planting 12 inches apart on center. Measure from the center of one to the center of the next.

Fill an ugly open area with a mass planting. You'll love them in a large, colorful group for vivid style.

Even if you have a tiny lot, or are doing small space gardening on a sun-soaked balcony or patio, you can take advantage of their good looks and easy-care nature. Plant them in a series of matching outdoor containers for modern flair.

These fun flowers enliven a pool deck with easy charm. Invest in a few of those gigantic outdoor containers, and use several of them as "Filler".

Use some of Nature Hills most dramatic shrubs—like Black Diamond Crape Myrtle—as a "Thriller". Change out your choices for each season, or pick cold hardy perennial choices to enjoy year after year.

Phlox more than earn a spot in Butterfly Gardens! If you have several kids, or grandkids; why not let each child design their own? Life is short...have some fun by planting First Editions Bubblegum Pink Phlox in a heart or star-shape.

Tuck them into your borders to fill any bare spots. Place them anywhere you have sun, and you'll achieve a consistent, designer-look that helps tie your entire design together.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Give them at least six hours of sun a day. More sun means more flowers.

They require well-drained soil that sheds water quickly after a rain. Have soggy soil in your preferred planting area? Pop them in a container!

Provide a regular, even amount of moisture for the best results. This is so important for container gardens!

Apply mulch over the root system to further protect your plants. Please pull it back, so it doesn't touch the stems.

The stems can be cut back to the ground in late fall. Or, you can choose to leave them up until late winter or early spring before their haircut. How convenient!

Make the most of your sunshine with the effervescent charm of First Editions Bubblegum Pink Phlox. Order yours today!
